Malibu & Gamble House

We took my dad down to Malibu for lunch at Neptune's Net. It was sunnier than it looks in this picture. Malibu is one of my favorite places. 21 miles of Pacific coastline PLUS lots of horses, an equestrian park, stables, and horse trails through the Santa Monica Mountains.

On the way home we checked out The Gamble House in Pasadena. It was designed in 1908 by architects Greene & Greene. It was commissioned by David and Mary Gamble, of the Procter and Gamble Company, as a retirement residence. I love this Arts & Crafts style masterpiece.

View from back yardWe also went by Frank Lloyd Wright's Millard House, also known as La Miniatura. It is a few doors down from a friend's house in Pasadena and it is also for sale....$7,733,000! Not my taste, but internationally recognized as one of the world’s most important works of architecture.
